SO-SAID was
introduced into the reality show in the 8th
episode where Mrs. Concern R.D
Martins narrated how rough and tough the journey was when she started.
“In the
beginning, I was going about the streets with camera crew and those who
can help in carrying the insane for me, this made my husband chased me
out of the
house because he felt I was embarrassing the family even my first son
hit me on
the face and I slept on the street for eight months when I started the
project.”
Mrs. Concern R.D Martins, recalled times she shed
tears, “When I see some schools discriminating against my kids, telling
the kids not to come to school because they are from So- Said (motherless
babies’ home) I shed tears’.
‘sometimes
when some kids are picked on the street and they need urgent treatment
at the
hospital and there is no transportation and money to convey them, I will
resolve to do the walking, at those moments too I shed tears’.
Mrs. Gift
Abudu, 44 year old medical matron at So-Said described Mrs. Concern Felicia R.D
Martins as charitable and God-fearing.
